2 1. Cameron grew a snow pea plant from a seed at school. He brought the plant home in the hopes of getting some pea pods to eat. He forgot to water it for a whole week and the plant died. Based on your knowledge of plants, describe Cameron s mistake and why his plant died. 2. Dominic bought an oregano plant for Mother's Day. He didn't want his mother to see it before giving it to her as a gift, so he hid the plant in his closet. Based on your knowledge of plants, explain why putting the plant in the closet may be a poor decision. 3. In order for plants to go through the process of photosynthesis, they must have energy. What type of energy must they have? 1. sound energy 3. heat energy 2. light energy 4. chemical energy Photosynthesis, Cycling of Matter Through an Ecosystem
